Title: What a hoot!
Post by Peter Freedman on Feb 8^th, 2014 at 7:55pm

Just saw an ad on Bio channel advertising a coming program on Elizabeth 2.

She was described as "England's greatest living monarch ".

Seeing she is the only monarch alive, the competition isn't great.

Who writes this crap?

Bio channel must be a pay channel? So you're paying to be annoyed or amused whichever the case may be.
Still, it's not worse than what you regularly see on the ticker tape across the bottom of news bulletins.

What do you do, Peter? Read headlines looking for a reinterpretation of what was intended meaning?

Just be thankful they got the name and country right, I guess.
